Wild Desires Made Me Love Blind!
My 5 year old LOVES superheroes. Everything about them. He draws them, he talks to them, he pretends to be them. All of it. With this in mind, I created this printable comic book page that he can c…
Obviously, these comics are taken out of context, but they sure are hilarious of you have a filthy mind! More

What is more fitting than Dagwood's Chocolate Sandwich for National Sandwich Day. I believe that Dagwood probably would have added lots of other ingredients such as bananas and peanut butter, and that would be great, but how can you go wrong with chocolate, butter, and bread? I've posted several Chocolate Sandwiches over the years, so today I turn to my "Tie-In" Cookbook collection and specifically Blondie's Cook Book for today's recipe. Dagwood is the iconic King of Sandwiches. My Dad used to make Dagwood Sandwiches... they were sandwiches that contained every thing but the 'kitchen sink'. FYI: My father never added chocolate. Dagwood Bumstead, in case you don't know, is one of the main characters in comic artist Chic Young's long-running comic strip Blondie. He first appeared in the U.S. sometime prior to February 1933. What's Cooking America defines the Dagwood Sandwich as a multi-layered sandwich with a variety of fillings. The term is used to denote a sandwich put together so as to attain such a tremendous size and infinite variety of contents as to stun the imagination, sight, and stomach of all but the original maker. Dagwood sandwiches is a term so well-known that it's in the Webster's New World Dictionary. According to the creator of the comic strip, Murat Bernard “Chic” Young (1901-1973), the only thing that Dagwood could prepare in the kitchen was a mountainous pile of dissimilar leftovers precariously arranged between two slices of bread. Dagwood became known for his huge sandwiches he created on evening forays to the refrigerator. The comic strip is produced today under the direction of the creator's son, Dean Young, the strip has continued to keep up with the times. Blondie's Cook Book: Chic Young's Classic Cook Book with New Comic Art Selections by His Son Dean Young (Gramercy Books, New York 1947, 1996) This Comic says it all: CHOCOLATE SANDWICHES RECIPE: Not sure how many sandwiches (or layers) this is supposed to make, but that's a lot of sugar, even if the chocolate is probably sugarless. I've never followed this recipe, so I'm thinking the amount of sugar might be a mistake.
Lots of people have weighed in on conservative John Tierney's recent article on the inate inferiority of women in science and math, how novel to hear the views of scientists who are women. Maggie Koerth-Baker provides that at Boing Boing: Yet, he clearly has ignored the fact that this phenomenon is unique to the United States. Indeed, in countries with more gender equal cultural norms, the divide disappears. In Iceland, girls out perform boys in math and science. Japanese girls out perform American boys. Maybe in his next column Tierney will argue some type of evolutionary difference between the boys and girls in these other countries and American boys and girls. Personally, I would find it much more interesting if he would start posting recipes for pies we could make with all the cherries he's picking. . . We can spend our time discussing SAT scores, but I worry that we are missing the most important thing that keeps women out of science—the cultural attitudes that teach women that if they choose a demanding career, they aren't fulfilling their duties as wife and mother.

Dear Ones, I'm sorry for the abrupt conclusion to this blog. 10 years of blogging is a long time, and I thought I could keep it going after the hiatus, but I was just burnt out. So, I took the plunge and tried my hand at writing. So far, it's going pretty dang well. I've written two novels and think I have two more in me before I wrap things up. The Judas Goat is a legal thriller about a small business owner who is prosecuted for murder after he kills a teenage assailant during a robbery attempt. It gives the reader an inside look at the criminal justice system through the eyes of the accused as well as the defense attorneys. Also, since I'm Adam, there are many laughs to be had. Not always appropriate laughs, but... What Happened and Why It Wasn't My Fault is a dark comedy/satire about a marijuana distributor who has to search for America's next vice so he can pay off his supplier, a drug lord with a Christmas fetish. It's fun! I would also invite everyone to join me on my Facebook page so I can keep you updated (and let you know when I put my books up for promotion so you can snag 'em for free)! I hope everyone is doing well and I hope to see you there!

Friends! Did you all have a busy week/weekend reading? We have over 40 reverse harem books on a bestseller list. We are taking over! I haven't had a chance to read many of them, so I've definitely added a bunch to my TBR pile, though. Hopefully, you can find some great reads. Be well, and happy reading! Paige
